Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the post-transcriptional addition of poly(A) tails by poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I, pcnB) plays a significant role in cellular RNA metabolism. However, many important features of this system, including its regulation and the selection of polyadenylation sites, are still poorly understood. Here we show that the inactivation of Hfq (hfq), an abundant RNA-binding protein, leads to the reduction...
